Where To Get Some Unique Inspiration

I'm often asked by brides, friends and family, where do I get my ideas from? I have to say that I am always on the lookout whether I'm shopping for groceries or watching a foreign film! One example of a movie I found incredibly inspiring is "Curse of the Golden Flower" it is truly an feast for your eyes with incredible colour, set and costume design. I also find homeware and interior design magazines and even graphic design magazines fantastic for original ideas outside of the "wedding" context. Of course I also sweep the internet all the time! Here are just 2 of my favorites that I suggest brides visit outside of the traditional bridal magazines.

One of my favorite sites is www.designerguild.com. They are a fabric design and manufacturing company and their site is full of beautifully detailed fabrics. They have recently released their "Royal Collection" based on all the beautiful art and furniture found in the Royal Palace! Its divine. I find their colour combination's so inspiring ( I wish I could do this!) and I visit this site when I need a colour boost! Another site that I also love is www.houseandgarden.com. Here you will find the latest of all things to do with anything beautiful for your home! They also have fantastic bloggers that blog virtually every day telling your about their latest finds. So if your feeling short of ideas or want something different for your day. Here's a photo I found today on their site....don't you love different lanterns inside the pagola and those round tubs in the middle! Gorgeous!!! Check these two sites for ideas and I'll post others soon! Love it!
